All I do is keep the money flowing and tell Eric what my vision is. He then talks me down off some ideas. This is really a PMB production. This dream is mine and its been going on for 12 years on this car but the dream to own a fast-non-stock 6 is 40 years old. Ever since I got a ride in Burbank CA. at Galan Bieker shop in a BK real 914-6 with a hopped up 3.0.

Right turns at 55 was all that it took and getting sucked back in the seat.

This is superb, and an inspiration. You're doing the hobby proud! You're also making the rest of us who are merely afflicted look almost normal!

I guess it's the quality, vision, attention to detail - and by gosh - the execution of the project that makes it so wonderful. Seriously fun to watch and read about.

I also realize posting pics and updates doesn't 'just happen' so thanks for the education and building the giddy anticipation along the way. Keep up the awesome work: long live the 914!

It has been a while since an update. Eric sent me there pictures today. The note was “It runs today or tomorrow. Depends on how much daylight we have”

I loved to hear that after 5 years. Next is to hear the sound! This car has not been run since 1985 Many moons have come and gone!

Man, that is looking sweet. I would be unable to sleep waiting to hear it run after all that time. Cheers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Eric (PMB) is just a terrific guy. Had I not stumbled on The Justice League, my car would likely be at Eric's. I really like his work and attention to detail. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

From what the PO was told, the early work on this car was done by Peter Dawes when he was at Dick Trotman’s shop in the 70s. What was on the car back then was braided Stainless lines and AN fitting for the front oil cooler and Troutman thermostat. I had thought we may change to Elephant oil lines but Eric has given my guidance on how to restore the car in the spirit of a super early 1969 delivered hot rod 914-6 back in the day. I listen to him on almost every point.

This is a Southern Cal hot rod VW back from the days when I was in High School. By the way my 1st wife had a yellow 70 914-4 back then that she could not figure how to drive. My in-laws got her a new VW Bug with auto stick.

Friday news from PMB Performance. We had some electrical problems. It was a short in the wiper motor. It had had to come back out. E says the starter is open and one of the brushes has 400 Ohms resistance and it kept blowing fuses every time they plugged in the battery. A rare 1969 911 only motor.

I said a close out to a busy week. Time for an adult beverage Sandy, Utah style

On to next week.

We were held up by a couple of things. One was the bracket to attach the CDI box and Eric had to find a one year only 69 911 wiper motor to use the winding so we have savaged the
electrical parts needed give life back in to my 6s wipers and let us move on to the next detail.

Lots of details on a car to truly be rebuilt/restored. I am sure most cars never come back to this level of restoration. Most are just made to look good for a sale.

With a little of this and a little of that (4 different fuel pumps including one NOS that I got 10 years ago) PMB got #41 started up. First time in 35 years

Sounds just right to these ears.
